If you mean that only the eye teeth are holding up the bridge, then this is too long a span. So your teeth are hurting under the stresses. You can have the bridge cut through where it joins to the eye teeth, and then look at implants or dentures for the 4 front incisors. If you try to keep the bridge, then you'll probably lose the eye teeth and be in much bigger trouble.
